Learning Patience the Hard Way with Love
This past weekend has gone pretty well. Usually on Sunday’s my daughter who has ADHD has melt downs on Sunday’s. I don’t know why she does this. She’s been busy doing homework. She made the comment to me. I thought things are suppose to start off slowly. Well, I had to tell her ” Welcome to Highschool”. She’s the kind of kid that things need to run a certain way or I hear about it. Its difficult to deal with because of my many ups and downs of living with lupus. I don’t understand the whole thing with the ADHD, but sometimes its overwhelming. I wonder sometimes if God was trying to teach me to be patient. Well I think I got the message loud and clear now. It took until she was a teenager, but I did get the message. I really know what they mean when they say patience is a virtue for sure now.
How have your kids taught you patience with or without a chronic illness?

I have a daughter who just graduated from high school. While she was in high school, she was diagnosed with Bi-Polar disorder. I have a sister that is ADHD. Being around both of them has taught me something. First about my sister, she has to always be on the go or doing something. There has been times I was not well and had to decline going places with her and getting her to understand. Secondly my daughter, being in high school is very demanding now a days. My daughter called it survivor’s school. She was involved in a lot of activities and required to be on time whether I felt well or not. Trying my patience she did a lot, but she taught me patience through loving her.
